Sunday afternoon in town

It's a majorly beautiful day here in Austria.  Low 20's and the sun is shining and the birds are singing.  Everyone is out riding bikes or walking around.  Oh, that's Celsius.  Makes it about 73 degrees F.

I was going to the zoo, but my feet hurt, so I decided that I wasn't going to walk around today.  Okay, I walked a little. 
I went into town and back.  I decided to see the Getredistrasse, which is the main shopping street in town.  It has lots of stores, cool signs, and it's mostly populated by tourists.  Besides there was pizza!  I did get some t-shirts for friends, but I didn't get chocolate today which was my other goal. 
I was distracted by the Christmas in Salzburg shop.  This time of year it's less Christmasy and more about Easter.   
The ornaments are actual eggs that have been painted, detailed, or just decorated like a Christmas ornament.  It's not actually just for the tourists, although it is a tourist shop(mostly).  They do Easter trees here, so I've heard.  Easter is a very serious business here. 
Instead of baskets they have little egg cartons, so you choose your egg and it is protected.  I kept telling myself I didn't have to buy a dozen even though that's how many the carton was for.
How I'm getting these home is beyond me.  Have to get bubble wrap, I guess, in my suitcase or carry on.

Life lesson 5

Here's another life lesson.
Never, ever wear a silk suit in the rain without a slicker or an umbrella.
Why I have to learn these things the hard way is beyond me. But to be fair, I didn't think it was going to rain that hard until I got off the subway.
I did know it was going to rain, so I brought my trenchcoat. I mean what's the weather channel for if you don't watch it for the important things like baseball, travel and interview weather?
But, honestly, no one on the weather channel said it was going to rain hard enough to soak through my coat and down to the skin.
There ought to be a special interview weather report. Maybe a special channel. Not only will they tell you the weather, but break it down into hours. And even give advice on what to wear for the weather. Like at 10 it's going to pour so don't wear silk. Or if you have to wear those high heeled boots remember there's ice on the sidewalks. That's helpful stuff.
So you don't look like an idiot during the first hour of your interview wearing a half soaked silk suit.
I wonder if I can hold the weather channel responsible if I don't get this job?
